His grace, Paulos Faraj Rahho, has been found dead a month after being kidnapped. Even though we Catholics regard martyrs for the faith as saints in Heaven, it still seems fitting for me to offer a prayer for him.
Now, Master, you let your servant go in peace.
You have fulfilled your promise.
My own eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples.
A light to bring the Gentiles from darkness;
the glory of your people Israel.
(From the night Vespers, the canticle of Simeon, Luke 2:29-32)
